Trees Trees Trees

Here are the last week's efforts. I stayed close to home, and painted trees at Taylor Creek park. I need a break, there is too much green! I have been trying to keep my painting simple, trying to simplify the forms and letting the surface show trough and unify the colour scheme.

What I have realized is that my drawing skill needs major sharpening. Being able to quickly put down the right shape in the right place with minimum effort is a must. That means every stroke needs to be considered before committing it to paper. Not an easy thing to come by.
